HULL & APPENDAGES

Construction

Scantlings, materials and workmanship throughout are consistent with the construction of a light hull, but without any sacrifice of the strength or stiffness.  The hull is built in a female mould using vacuum assisted resin infusion.  The bottom is of single skin construction, the topsides of foam cored sandwich, using glass/aramid hybrid fibre reinforced vinylester laminate. A high proportion of the fibres are unidirectional, giving a stiff laminate with excellent strength and fatigue properties.

Stiffener flanges are unidirectional carbon lay-ups over foam cores or hollow double bias glass formers.Engine beds are of GRP with steel inserts; special care is taken to assure rigid foundation and proper adhesion to the hullComposite main shroud chain plates bonded to hull and to reinforced structural knees.Recessed stainless steel headstay chainplate and deck level composite backstay chain plates attached to hull structure.
